Orienteering race 1:54:45 [4] 4.2 km (27:19 / km) +75m 25:05 / km
shoes: INOV8 Bare Grips
The good news was that today we had separate clue description sheets, and some of the mud had dried out. The bad news was that the briars and forest were really bad in lots of places. We also had a creek crossing holding a rope, with rushing water up to our knees.
I spent too much time going from 1 to 2. This was poor route choice through lots of bad brush, briars, etc. Going from 6 to 7 was not good; I was too far east, after wandering a little, realized it and zeroed in on the control. Overshot a little from 9 to 10, but this was a long-time mistake like I frequently make and I immediately adjusted.
Overall map reading was not too bad, but ducking and diving through the brush and trying to avoid the briars caused me to have trouble following a bearing.
